“Unfortunately for him he looked more like an innocent man on America’s terror watch-list rather than a gallant Viking possessing all the benefits of modernity. More like a villain in a Western fairy tale with his slicked-bouffant obsidian hair rather than the long sun-like curls that all great saviors of the poor have been obliged to possess.

“He came to me in pieces, like a painting in the works. His gray-blue eyes were the first to pop out from behind the fog of fear.
